Choosing a Reliable Topwater Frog for Bass
https://wiki-velo.win/index.php/Choosing_a_Reliable_Topwater_Frog_for_Bass
You want a topwater frog that skips under cover and floats high, not one that waterlogs after two casts. Look for a soft hollow body with stout hooks that can handle lily pads and slop, plus a weedless design that won't snag on every stick. A loud rattle or legs that churn can draw bass from deep hideouts, but a slow, steady retrieve often gets the blow-up when they're finicky.
